Lottery Tickets furnish q Wedding Out


P0RTLALD, Me-, October 49,
South Portland, just across the har-
Dor, Is all agog over a bit Of romance.
For months Louisiana State Lottery
tickets have been extensively dealt
out here, and a few persons have
had windfalls of fortune. A young
man named Cole and his bethrothed,
Miss Jackson, in somewhat poor cir
cumstances, concluded to try their
luck, and each paid fifty cents for
one-tenth of a whole ticket. At the
October drawing they found, by
reading the schedule of winning
tickets, that theirs had drawn $1,000.
1t Is understood that their wedding
cards are now in the hands of the
printer. New York Sun, Oct. 90.

: researches In ancient and modern history.
both sacred aud profanes there have existed
during nearly all ages of the world O certain
class OF persons who claim to believe In the
non-exi>tence OF Supreme Being or God.
Even King David. the sacred saImist, and one
or Gods chosen vassals, used at the beginn ng
!. 8fhis 18th and SD pslams thousands of years
ago the words, "The fool hath said in his heart
there is no God" How intelligent beings
who live within and breathe the very atmos-
phere of surrounding proofs TO the contrary
can entertain such sentiments, we may not
fully understand, and yet II we believe what
they themselves say, we cannot doubt the
fact of their unbelief And as regards disbe-
li.ving them, we have no good authority or
right to claim that they are otherwise than
xhonest In their expressed convictions. These
persons In the present age of polite literature
are termed Atheists but in ancient times,
when people were more In the habit OF calling
things by their right names, honest old David
did not apply 10 them that appellation. The
devotees or advocates of Atheism may be
SAplaced In several classes. the intelligent, ig-
nonnt, honest dishonest, etc, but as such a
classification is here unnecessary, we shall
not attempt to name the differences existing
between them.
Besides the regular OF ayowed Atheist, there
IL another class OF persons who may be re-
garded as holding position very nearly bor-
,iering on the brink OF Atheism or inhdelity.
These persons are known as skeptlcs, and l
regret to say that they are comparatively
very numerous. including many OF our best
people OF nearly all classes, both inside and
outside of our various UNCONVENTIONAL
churches. Most generally they have been
taught from childhood to believe in the ex-
eistence of a God and other true doctrines OF
tGeligious char acter, and have during almost
their entire early life been surrounded by
religious Influences, but owing to their per-
sonai observation of Inconsistencies by pro-
ftssed or so-saiiej Christians, their attention
given 10 the speeches and writings of Atheists,
a iufidels and skeptics, and various other in
iuences, they have become skeptics or doubt
ers. Many of these persons are truly honest
aud upright. possessing a sincere desire to
learn aud know the truth, but depend toe
much upon Others Tot Information, and do not
sufficiently think and investigate matters for
themselves.
They may possibly attend church very reg
ulary, and hear what the minister has to say
on Sunday, read a few verses or chapters In
! the Bible when they can spare the time from
their worldly Affairs to do so, and this Is about
the sum total OF their Investigations In their
search for truth. Ia the intervals they meet
with The Atheist or iufidei, either in person
&t In print, and peas bly, give them better
TAstention than they dla their preacher OF
their Bible.
